Chrysler Cirrus Speaker FAQ

What speakers should I replace first in my Chrysler Cirrus for the biggest sound improvement?

Replace the front door panel speakers first. The 6.5 inch coaxial or component speakers handle most of your music's frequency range and sit closest to your ears. You'll notice immediate improvement in clarity and volume. The rear deck speakers can wait - they're mainly for fill and ambiance. Dashboard speakers? Those tiny 3.5 inch units barely matter unless you're sitting in the back seat, which... you're not driving from there.

Can I install component speakers in the front doors of a Chrysler Cirrus?

Yes, the front door panels support both coaxial and component configurations. Component systems separate the woofer and tweeter, giving you better imaging and sound staging. You'll need to mount the tweeter somewhere in the dashboard or A-pillar area. The crossover can usually fit behind the door panel. Power handling tends to be better with components too - most handle 50-100 watts RMS compared to basic coaxials at 25-50 watts.

What's the difference between coaxial and triaxial speakers for the rear deck of a Chrysler Cirrus?

Triaxial speakers add a super tweeter to the standard woofer-tweeter combo in coaxials. The 6 x 9 rear deck location can accommodate either type. Triaxials might sound slightly brighter with extended high-frequency response up to 20kHz versus maybe 18kHz for coaxials. But honestly? The difference is subtle in most cars. Focus on power handling and build quality instead. Look for speakers rated at 4 ohms impedance to match your factory amplifier.

Are the dashboard speakers worth upgrading in a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus?

Probably not your priority. Those 3.5 inch dashboard speakers handle mostly midrange frequencies, maybe 200Hz to 8kHz. They're more about filling in the soundstage than delivering serious audio performance. If your front doors and rear deck are still factory, upgrade those first. The dashboard units might see 10-15 watts RMS at most. Small coaxial replacements work fine if you really want to address them later.

What impedance should I look for when replacing Chrysler Cirrus speakers?

Stick with 4-ohm speakers. Most factory Chrysler systems from this era expect 4-ohm loads. Using 8-ohm speakers will reduce your volume output - the amplifier won't deliver as much power. 2-ohm speakers could overload your factory amp and cause overheating or distortion. The 6.5 inch front speakers and 6 x 9 rear speakers should all be 4 ohms. Even those little 3.5 inch dashboard units typically expect 4-ohm impedance.
